THE BUSINESS AND CRAFT OF WRITING

Led by Midlands-area subject matter experts and experienced authors, agents and publishers, The Business of Writing offers key takeaways on digital platform building, events and conferences, and social media marketing. Panels like “Choosing Your Publishing Path” with Literary Agent MacKenzie Fraser-Bub, Mystery Writer Raegan Teller, and Poet and Workshop Leader Cassie Premo Steele offer insights on traditional versus self publishing and the spectrum of options writers have for getting their work out into the world. Then “How to Market Yourself and Your Work” with Carrollee Hevener, Bob Lackey, and Cheryl Nugent will explore the various creative approaches writers have taken to sell themselves and their stories. Led by Write On SC radio show co-hosts Dr. Kasie Whitener and Rex Hurst and organized by the Columbia II Chapter of SCWA, The Business of Writing offers games, prizes, community, and learning. All in this first-of-its-kind half day experience for SCWA members and Midlands-area writers.
